Are you running under Windows? If you have multiple apps writing
to the same log files, Windows holds a lock on the files. This
prevents log4j from renaming the log files to create the
archives. Thus when log4j thinks it's writing to a new file, it's
actually overwriting the old file.
There are some workaround patches to log4j floating around that
addresses this. I believe the next version of log4j will as well.
